The Welsh Rugby Union is calling on fans from across the country to create a “sea of red” this week to usher both the senior team and the U20s to victory this weekend. Fans are also asked to take pictures of themselves wearing red for Wales and send film clips to the Union as extra inspiration for the boys in red.

Welcoming the campaign was player George North. He said: “Everyone talks about the positive impact the crowd can have on the pitch because it is true. It makes such a difference the players to be able to hear your home fans in full voice on a match day.

“We know going into every game that we have hundreds of thousands of fans behind us, we know we have the best fans in the world game in Wales.

“Looking up to a sea of red in the stands on Saturday or catching site of the good luck messages sent to us via social media or from our friends and family is an inspiration and we are all looking forward to taking that out on the pitch at the weekend.”

WRU chief executive Roger Lewis said: “The unity of purpose displayed by our national team during this campaign has been uplifting and inspiring.

“Now this display of red unity from our fans, will show the world just why it is so wonderful to be Welsh.”
